Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated digital assistant on an electronic device are provided. In particular, this paper describes how the intelligent automated digital assistant can be leveraged with other types of commands to control a household having multiple home automation devices. A portable electronic device is used to provide a user an extended reality environment within which the user can both managed and control the home automation devices.

Home automation device control and designation

Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example process, a spoken user input, including at least a spoken message and an identity of an intended recipient, is received. After storing the spoken message and the recipient identity, if a user becomes proximate to a first electronic device and the identity of the user is determined to match the recipient identity, the spoken message is provided to the user at the first electronic device.

Intelligent message delivery

The present disclosure generally relates to assigning tasks to various user inputs, and detecting and responding to user inputs. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to assigning tasks to various user inputs received on a back surface of a device, and detecting and responding to user inputs on the back surface of the device.
